Proverbs 29:7
King James Version
7 Jun 2026
“The righteous considereth the cause of the poor: but the wicked regardeth not to know it.”
צַדִּיק
The blessed man is not the one who has never fallen — it is the one who knows where not to stand, not to walk, not to sit. Righteousness in the Psalms is relational — it is being in right standing with God, walking in step with Him, rooted in His word like a tree by water.
